Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Steward, IL.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Steward can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
